THE HALLMARK OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

DEFINITION

Scientific research focuses on solving problems in a step _by _step logical, organized and rigorous manner in each step of research viz., identifying problem, gathering data, analyzing it and in arriving at a valid conclusion.

THE HALLMARKS

HALLMARKS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The hallmarks or distinguishing characteristic features of scientific research are as follows:

Purposiveness

The purpose of the research should be clearly mentioned in an understandable and unambiguous manner. The statement of the decision problem should include its scope, its limitations and the precise meaning of all words and terms significant to the research.

Rigor

Rigor

Rigor means carefulness, scrupulousness and the degree of exactness in research investigation. In order to make a meaningful and worthwhile contribution to the field of knowledge, research must be carried out rigorously

Testability

Research should be based on testable assumptions/hypotheses developed after a careful study of the problems involved.

Replicability

Research findings would command more faith and credence if the same results are evolved on different set of data. The results of the test hypothesis should be supported again and again when the same type of research is repeated in other similar circumstances.

Precision and Confidence

Precision refers to the closeness of the finding to ‘reality’ based on sample. It reflects the degree

of accuracy or exactitude of the results on the basis of the sample to what exactly is in the universe. The confidence interval in statistics is referred here as precision. Confidence refers to the probability that the estimation made in the research findings are correct.

Objectivity

The conclusion drawn should be based on the facts of the findings derived form the actual data and not on the basis of subjective or emotional values.

Objectivity

Generalizability

The more generlizable the research, the greater will be its usefulness and value. However it is not always possible to generalize the research findings to all other settings, situations or organizations.

Parsimony

Research needs to be conducted in a parsimonious i.e. simple and economical manner. Simplicity in explaining the problems and generalizing solutions for the problems is preferred to a complex research framework. Economy in research models can be achieved by way of considering less number of variables leading to greater variance rather than considering more number of variables leading to less variance
